Today’s guest picture is another from our friend Bruce’s holiday. His dog Hislop had a good time too. On another lovely sunny day here, I had a busy morning, with a visit from Dennis (with scones) for a coffee, followed by a trip to the butcher, a look round the garden with some shredding addedContinue reading “A trip”

Back in the groove
Today’s guest picture is another from our friend Bruce’s stay in the northeast of England. He visited Seaton Sluice yesterday, and sent me a selection of views of the harbour. I chose this one. After the excitements of visiting the dump, the hospital, and two shops yesterday, life returned to normal today. Our spell ofContinue reading “Back in the groove”
Hitting three targets with one arrow
Today’s guest picture is another from our friend Gavin’s holiday on the East Coast. He likes this bridge in the middle of the beach at Dunbar. We varied our routine today as it was an unusual day. The sun didn’t shine in the morning, we didn’t do any gardening in the afternoon, and I didn’tContinue reading “Hitting three targets with one arrow”
Another drop
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. He is having a break in the northeast of England and visited Northumberlandia park. He tells me that it is built on the site of an old open cast coal mine, and is now a unique piece of public art, with a centrepiece of a stunning humanContinue reading “Another drop”
A drop of rain
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Gavin. He is staying in ‘The Old Lobster House’ at Burnmouth near Eyemouth for a short holiday. He points out that it could hardly be closer to the sea. We had a late church service today, so apart from going to church to sing lots of good hymnsContinue reading “A drop of rain”
Straight up
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo in Manitoba. She is hoping that the rabbit in her front yard is a signal that things will warm up a bit soon (-9° windchill there at the moment she tells me). We had another fine and sunny day here, and once again Mrs Tootlepedal spent most ofContinue reading “Straight up”
Another bonus
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent Venetia. She is back in Somerset after a visit to Sardinia, and kindly sent me this picture from her visit to the Newt today. After another clear night when the temperatures dropped to near freezing, we enjoyed another brilliantly sunny day, and the temperatures climbed rapidly upContinue reading “Another bonus”
Compensation
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She found some busy gulls on her visit to the river today. After a clear and starlit night here, we woke to a frosty morning, and it was still pretty chilly when Dennis arrived for scones and coffee. As usual, he provided the scones and I providedContinue reading “Compensation”
I felt no pain
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. She complains that bluebells pop up everywhere in her garden whether she likes it or not. We had another day of lovely sunny weather here, moderated once again by a brisk and chilly east wind. However, the weather didn’t matter to us much, as the day wasContinue reading “I felt no pain”
A good day for the garden
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He met a peacock butterfly while walking his dog this afternoon. We woke up to a day of sunshine and clouds here, and it was warmer than it has been lately in the morning. The clouds blew away as the morning went on, and left us withContinue reading “A good day for the garden”
